Sorry, a genuine question: it seems that they have to move as GPLv3 is anti-tivolization and Apple is TiVo-like (namely macOS are only licensed on Apple hardware.)
So in this case apple’s action is a direct response to FSF’s decision to be anti-tivolization? Ie they are forced to either change their model to comply, or not use GPLv3 licensed softwares?
- jra_samba 5y agoWell for Apples motives you would have to ask Apple. But from an external view of Apple, yes - this does seem to be a direct response to the GPLv3 anti-tivoization clause. Again, this is perfectly within their rights so I don't want anyone to think I'm complaining about this (anymore:-). I'm more annoyed with the FSF over GPLv3 than Apple. At least Apple have the courage of their convictions, which cannot be said anymore of the FSF.
